Ahh -- there is a clue here that I hadn't noticed before.  The comments in
the code are different in the snippet from  rhythms.itely and the doc
output.

That means that the snippet in rhythms.itely is *not* the one that is being
compiled for the docs.

So now the question is -- why would the current snippet not be compiled?


Thanks,
